Elizabeth Sladen, dead at 63 RIP, Sarah Jane.
A talented and classy lady who brought the Dr. Who franchise into the 20th century with regards to its view on women. Sarah Jane was clever and strong and her character made the ultimate sci fi TV show accessible to all of us.
In recent years, I've loved watching The Sarah Jane Adventures with my kids. I'm a bit of a WhoNerd, and I have to say I've never heard a single word against Ms. Sladen. She'll be missed. Condolences to her family.
